Mmmmmmm! Look at that!! Don't those donuts just look AMAZING and indescribably delicious?? Don't you just want to reach out and grab one?? You KNOW you do! ;)

But you know you shouldn't, right? Especially if you're trying to stick to a pre planned meal regimen and are making a true effort to cut down on the sugary and fatty treats that get you in trouble in the first place.The thing is, even if you've already been really good, just having one of these can open up the floodgates on your sugar cravings, and then one will turn into two, and then there you'll be craving even more sweets tomorrow and the next day, and the next day. One NEVER ends up being just one, so don't even start!

Would you be able to walk right past that plate of donuts if you saw it sitting on a table at a friend's house, or at some social function you're attending? How about at your children's play dates? Would you have the discipline to just hand them out to the kids without indulging in some yourself?

Here are a few things you can do to tame that sugar beast!

* Drink water! We can't say that enough! Especially before going out somewhere.

* Go for the nuts - these will help thwart the food cravings

* Get your daily servings of fruit. That's some healthy sugar for your body - not that processed stuff!

* Eat before leaving the house. You'll be less susceptible to impulse eating if your stomach is already full.

* Picture that donut on your thighs or belly, and then think of a cool, form fitting outfit you have that you can't fit into yet. That donut + that outfit = NO WAY, JOSE! ;)

There are all kinds of ways to keep from reaching for those donuts (which here symbolize all fatty foods), but it's in those moments of weakness that you have to use some common sense and also a couple of strong preventative measures.

I wish I had read this before lunch... I have been so good for about a month straight and today my friend at work and I walked to the mall during lunch. We ended up getting a slice of cheesecake from The Cheesecake Factory... :/ It's the first time I've done it in FOREVER, and I came home and did my exercises, but I know it was still bad. I'll remember this post next time they tempt me!

That was just plain evil! Here I am drooling over a high-resolution picture of donuts. I think I'll need to sneak out of the house and grab myself a jelly filled donut or two or three...:) Have a great weekend!

That is why I avoid storing sweets at home Diva..coz if I see those sweets I cannot control myself from grabbing it :D Thanks Diva for sharing those wonderful tips to tame sugar beast :)lol will try my best to follow those tips :D

How can you do that to us. Showing us that yummy picture is just so tempting. That's okay, because I haven't eaten a donut in years. I used to love Krispy Kreme, they are the best, but then I found out how much fat there was in each donut. They are really bad for you, with virtually no nutritional benefits. Ever since then I can't bring myself to eat a single donut.

I've been eating alot of fruit and nuts, they help alot with cravings. Another way to help cravings is when you want something just close your eyes and imagine yourself shoving it in your mouth and down your throat and imagine how sick you will feel after, it helps for me :)

The nuts are definitely a good suggestion. I also use lara bars when I need a sweet treat - the cherry pie one is good and all natural. I also love mixing agave and olive oil with two cups of pecans and roasting them. Healthy (in moderation) but is a great snack to satiate my sweet tooth.

Girl, these are some good tips:)I allow myself one sweet per week, and so far - so good! it really is only that one thing and it helps to drink water and have fruit. It also helps to remember how tired sweets make me feel:)
